Speaker 1: Second date of day, a guy named Chris wrote us
Speaker 1: saying he's made a rule to never ask a woman
Speaker 1: out ever again.
Speaker 2: Really wait after whatever happened that he's on the phone.
Speaker 1: With us for before, I'm just reading this from his email.
Speaker 1: But Chris explained he learned a new strategy from a
Speaker 1: video that he saw where if you're a guy and
Speaker 1: you say, hey, would you like to go out to
Speaker 1: dinner with me on Saturday night? Yeah, you're already putting
Speaker 1: yourself at a disadvantage right there. Why Because in the
Speaker 1: woman's mind, she is thinking, if I say yes, then
Speaker 1: I'm doing him a favor and he's gonna end up
Speaker 1: having a great night because of me.
Speaker 3: Wait, she's not thinking, Wow, I'm really excited to us
Speaker 3: free meal. Yeah, she's thinking.
Speaker 1: She's thinking, sorry, I was being more, we're going beyond
Speaker 1: the meal. She's thinking, if I say yes, then I'm
Speaker 1: giving him the gift of spending time with me. If
Speaker 1: I say no, then this loser has nothing going on
Speaker 1: in his life. He is going to spend the entire
Speaker 1: evening all alone in his apartment watching net and eating
Speaker 1: old pizza.
Speaker 3: I don't know that that's right. I don't think that's
Speaker 3: how women think.
Speaker 1: Even if that's not true, that's what it says, that's
Speaker 1: what a lot of women think. So instead, he uses
Speaker 1: a different strategy that makes him look really, really good
Speaker 1: when he asks people out, all right, I want to
Speaker 1: know what it is.
Speaker 3: I love when men say what women think. It's so cute. Okay, continue, Yeah, well.
Speaker 1: Let's talk to Chris about this and see what it's
Speaker 1: all about. Chris, how you doing, man?
Speaker 4: Hey, good man, how are you?
Speaker 1: I'm very curious to learn what this strategy is.
Speaker 2: So wait, is the strategy something you came up with
Speaker 2: or is this also from the video that Jeff referenced.
Speaker 4: No, I learned this on an Instagram video. But I
Speaker 4: am telling you it works ninety percent of the time.
Speaker 4: It's a fantastic little trick here.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you don't ask a woman, hey, do you
Speaker 1: want to go out to dinner with me? What do
Speaker 1: you do? Instead?
Speaker 4: See what you got to do is you got to
Speaker 4: tell them that you're already doing something, and then you
Speaker 4: invite them to come along with you.
Speaker 2: Okay, So like you're going to dinner by yourself, I mean.
Speaker 1: Is not funny. I mean, I think you have a
Speaker 1: lot of friends and I'm sure you have a very
Speaker 1: active social life, Chris.
Speaker 3: What if you don't have plans already?
Speaker 4: Well, yes, you got to plan out your night a
Speaker 4: little bit, right, You got to put a little thought
Speaker 4: into this.
Speaker 3: That's a positive.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you tell you got the night planned, You've got
Speaker 4: your going out to dinner. You're gonna go do X
Speaker 4: y Z. Now she's got a little bit of foe mo.
Speaker 4: She got a little bit of that fear of missing
Speaker 4: out on some action.
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. You're saying you're trying to
Speaker 1: put the idea into the girl's head that you have
Speaker 1: a life outside of her, that she's not the only
Speaker 1: thing that's happening. And her answer isn't going to change you.
Speaker 5: But if she's lucky, you can squeeze her in.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: So okay, who did this work on that you went
Speaker 3: out with?
Speaker 4: Yeah? So this worked on Gina girl I met online
Speaker 4: on one of the apps. Very funny. Her and I
Speaker 4: were talking. Both had a sense of humor.
Speaker 3: That's sweet. What was your proposal? What did you already
Speaker 3: have planned that she could join you for?
Speaker 4: So I invited her this place that was opening that
Speaker 4: was serving some amazing seafood.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're like, oh, I'm gonna check out this new
Speaker 1: seafood place. You want to come with?
Speaker 4: Yeah, But I said, listen, we have half an hour,
Speaker 4: like you got to get ready now, you know, a
Speaker 4: little bit of urgency.
Speaker 5: Maybe a girl i'd be like, yeah, dog some food.
Speaker 3: I mean I feel like I would say yes just
Speaker 3: because of the pressure.
Speaker 1: Like, oh my god, no matter what you're wearing, I
Speaker 1: don't have to decide. Okay, you created urgency there that
Speaker 1: that's a good thing. So she was up for it.
Speaker 4: She was up for it, so I pick her up.
Speaker 4: She looked good. I looked good, and I told her.
Speaker 4: I said listen, I'll drive. Get in the car, I'll
Speaker 4: drive us there. And we were almost there. I like it,
Speaker 4: keep going, I said, listen, put on this blindfold because
Speaker 4: where we're going it's going to be a surprise, and
Speaker 4: I want to surprise you.
Speaker 5: Okay, super romance. I think if this has been your
Speaker 5: girlfriend for two years, but a first date.
Speaker 1: You've never met her before, hold on, let's not judge
Speaker 1: until we hear where this goes.
Speaker 4: So she puts the blindfold off. Okay, trusting, we get there.
Speaker 4: I take the blindfold off and she sees a file
Speaker 4: of fish from McDonald's right in front of her.
Speaker 2: Why I thought you were taking her to seafood.
Speaker 4: Hey it was seafood, right, technically fish.
Speaker 1: This whole thing was a prank that you were playing
Speaker 1: on her, telling her she's gonna have this nice meal,
Speaker 1: and you really took her to a fast food place
Speaker 1: and gave her ash.
Speaker 4: So she takes the blindfold off and she's looking at
Speaker 4: this file of fish, and I just see this look
Speaker 4: of confusion over her face. She was she went through
Speaker 4: every emotion. She was like pissed off for a second,
Speaker 4: but at the end of it, she just started to laugh. Wow.
Speaker 1: I mean she took the right way.
Speaker 2: Either that or she's laughing like, oh my god, of
Speaker 2: course this is my dating life.
Speaker 3: You're the virgineers there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, after the joke is over, were you able to
Speaker 1: establish a romantic bond with her?
Speaker 4: Yeah? No, don't forget. I'm dressed up too. So it
Speaker 4: was funny, you know, the whole thing.
Speaker 1: It's not just at her expense.
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm just still processing it.
Speaker 1: All the guys are like that's cute. Girls are like yi, So,
Speaker 1: how did how did the date end?
Speaker 4: It was good, right, So we had a great time.
Speaker 4: I dropped her off at her place, and she even
Speaker 4: admitted that that was funny.
Speaker 1: Okay, so what what's happened since then?
Speaker 4: So four or five days ago she invites me over
Speaker 4: to come to her place and hang out.
Speaker 1: Oh, during the nighttime or the daytime.
Speaker 3: I don't think she's gonna say come over at nine am.
Speaker 2: Jeffery, unmust she's got, like, I don't know, a sink
Speaker 2: to unclog.
Speaker 1: Over here. I thought it's a valid question. The time
Speaker 1: means important. That's a good sign that she wants you
Speaker 1: over at any time of the day.
Speaker 3: I mean, she obviously likes you. She's inviting me over.
Speaker 4: So that's what I thought. So I go to her house,
Speaker 4: I knock on her door and she doesn't answer.
Speaker 2: Oh, maybe it's another prank. You guys are just the
Speaker 2: prank couple.
Speaker 6: I would feel good to get him back.
Speaker 1: Actually it would were laughing on the other end. If
Speaker 1: it was really late at night, maybe she fell asleep
Speaker 1: before he arrived, Oh that's happened.
Speaker 3: Or if it was early in the morning.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is why the time question was so important.
Speaker 1: I guess we're never gonna know what time of day
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 7: Dud did you hit snooze, buddy, We're never gonna know,
Speaker 7: because now we gotta go, and we're gonna come back
Speaker 7: and try and get you a second date update and
Speaker 7: maybe get some clarity on what time it was right
Speaker 7: after this update.
Speaker 1: Pranking your date on your very first meetup is either
Speaker 1: the move of a very confident man or a very
Speaker 1: foolish one thing. We're just trying to figure out which
Speaker 1: one of those categories are. Listener Chris falls into because
Speaker 1: he convinced his date Gina, to dress up really really nice,
Speaker 1: to go out and eat some seafood.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she only had a half an hour to
Speaker 3: get ready.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Technically he wasn't lying because he did treat her to
Speaker 1: seafood a filet of fish sandwich at a McDonald's.
Speaker 2: Which I will say, it's my best friend's favorite. If
Speaker 2: a man took her to get a yes, she's she'd
Speaker 2: be like, I'm divorcing my husband to marry you.
Speaker 1: Books, friends love language. It's gas. But they were able
Speaker 1: to laugh about it afterwards after the prank was over,
Speaker 1: and they've been in contact since then. She hadn't invited
Speaker 1: him over, so a lot of good signs. The only
Speaker 1: problem is it's not resulting in a date yet, but
Speaker 1: that's going to be our job to step in.
Speaker 3: That's crazy that she didn't answer the door, just standing there.
Speaker 1: I know, that's rude. Actually, yeah, maybe he got the
Speaker 1: wrong door. We don't know.
Speaker 5: I didn't think that.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was a big apartment complex and she just
Speaker 1: texted the apartment like building, not a specific room.
Speaker 4: No, it definitely wasn't the wrong door because it was
Speaker 4: the same door that I picked her up in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I forgot about that part, thank you.
Speaker 1: All right, Well I'm a dummy, So let's just end
Speaker 1: this part and get to the part where we call
Speaker 1: her and figure out what's going on.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm just a little lost here because I'm
Speaker 4: knocking at the door she didn't answer, and you know,
Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on here.
Speaker 3: You are being really understanding, which is nice.
Speaker 5: I mean, she invited you over for sure, Like there
Speaker 5: wasn't like, uh, you know, there was no miscommunication text.
Speaker 3: How do you miscommunicate that?
Speaker 5: I don't know, you want to kick it some time
Speaker 5: and he's like on my way.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, this was very clear, point blank.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, let's just point blank ask her why she's
Speaker 1: not going out with you. I'm dialing her number right now.
Speaker 4: Here we go.
Speaker 1: Hello, Hey, is this Gina? U?
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is she?
Speaker 1: Are you sure you're Gina? Took a second.
Speaker 3: She knows she's Gina, she doesn't know who you are.
Speaker 2: OK.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well you're the weird one in this situation.
Speaker 1: I'm jeff from a radio show called Brook and Jeffrey
Speaker 1: in the Morning the.
Speaker 3: Whole shows here.
Speaker 6: Hello.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's a little weird.
Speaker 4: What's this about?
Speaker 1: This is about a segment that we do called a
Speaker 1: second Date Update, and we're trying to help one of
Speaker 1: our listeners meet up with you again after you already
Speaker 1: went out with him one time. His name is Chris.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know Chris. But did I sign up for this?
Speaker 1: No, this isn't something you sign up for. Chris emailed
Speaker 1: us because he told us about your guys' first date together.
Speaker 3: He's a spontaneous guy that Chris right. Pretty funny too.
Speaker 6: M Yeah, he's quite the charmer.
Speaker 3: Yeah is that good?
Speaker 1: He told us about the little practical joke that he played.
Speaker 2: I would love to know what was going through your
Speaker 2: head when he put a blindfold on you.
Speaker 3: You put it on yourself. I guess.
Speaker 6: But well, I mean at that point, I didn't have
Speaker 6: a choice. I was in his car.
Speaker 3: You had a choice. He puts a blindfold on. You
Speaker 3: could have said no.
Speaker 5: I mean you're fully committed.
Speaker 6: I was committed. I mean I like him, and I
Speaker 6: mean it was low key funny at the end of
Speaker 6: the day.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean we got the sense that you
Speaker 1: must have liked him because we heard that you even
Speaker 1: invited him over one one or one time.
Speaker 4: It wasn't I.
Speaker 1: Don't know specifically, so hung up on that, I like
Speaker 1: an idiot for it. Well, okay, you invited him over
Speaker 1: at some point, and he says that he went there
Speaker 1: and that you didn't answer the door.
Speaker 6: Oh so he told you that part too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was a pretty important part of everything, right,
Speaker 2: because that's when that's when he stopped responding to him.
Speaker 1: Well, the weird thing is that normally when we do
Speaker 1: the segment, people will ghost each other over text, or
Speaker 1: they'll just like break off communication. They won't actually set
Speaker 1: up a time to meet that person at their own
Speaker 1: place and then just not show up and answer the door.
Speaker 3: You know, you kind of like the old school physically doing.
Speaker 4: There.
Speaker 3: It's a lot more mystery.
Speaker 1: She's just watching in through the key hole. We're just
Speaker 1: trying to help Chris get some understanding of what's going
Speaker 1: on between you two.
Speaker 6: You know, given his well thought out plan, I wanted
Speaker 6: to get him back. And my plan didn't work.
Speaker 3: Wait what you were setting up a whole elaborate prank
Speaker 3: to prank him back?
Speaker 6: Of course?
Speaker 3: Oh my god?
Speaker 1: Wait wait what didn't work? What part of the plan?
Speaker 6: So I took him that night and I said, hey,
Speaker 6: do you wanna hook up?
Speaker 5: Hey? All right?
Speaker 6: Oh it was a up text, right, And so I
Speaker 6: was like, I need you to come over in a
Speaker 6: half hour.
Speaker 2: That should have been the red flag for him, is
Speaker 2: the half hour?
Speaker 3: Because he gave her a half he still.
Speaker 5: Like, oh my gosh, we're hooking up, And so.
Speaker 3: What's the joke?
Speaker 6: So, I mean it was late and he did come over.
Speaker 6: And the thing is that I have a friend who's
Speaker 6: a tow truck driver. Okay, okay, So I live on
Speaker 6: the third floor and I have a clear view to
Speaker 6: the street view and he would have seen the tew
Speaker 6: truck driver hook up his car.
Speaker 2: Oh, you weren't going to answer the door, and you
Speaker 2: were going to get his car towed and that was
Speaker 2: the joke.
Speaker 6: I mean, not fully toad, but you know, hooked up
Speaker 6: at least to the tow truck.
Speaker 1: So that was the joke. You invited him to be
Speaker 1: hooking up, and what you meant was hooking up his
Speaker 1: car to a tow truck.
Speaker 6: What else would you have done? He did the whole
Speaker 6: seafood thing that it's a.
Speaker 3: Little fall, so I don't think he got the joke. Wait,
Speaker 3: did the tow truck thing happen because he didn't tell
Speaker 3: us about it?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 6: See, that's the thing. My friend had another call where
Speaker 6: he actually was gonna make some money and he had
Speaker 6: to leave.
Speaker 1: Oh that's why your plan failed. You didn't So why
Speaker 1: haven't you.
Speaker 6: Called him back? Well, because I'm trying to set this
Speaker 6: up again. It was a great idea.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, God meant for each other.
Speaker 5: It's ruined.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't have been ruined if we didn't call her out.
Speaker 1: I know. I'm sorry. We totally screwed this up for you,
Speaker 1: your whole plan because actually Chris has been on the
Speaker 1: other line listening to this conversation the entire time.
Speaker 6: Are you guys hitting me?
Speaker 1: No? No?
Speaker 3: W did you want to? Oh? That was good? Hose edge.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: It was an elaborate praise you guy.
Speaker 6: You ruined everything that's there.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Wow, this is not cool, Gina. Not cool?
Speaker 1: Oh wait, why aren't.
Speaker 3: You laughing, Chris? I thought this would be exactly your
Speaker 3: type of humor.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but my car? Who I mean, that's an it's
Speaker 4: an expensive car. You gotta be careful. I mean, she's
Speaker 4: gonna have my car, Toad, you can damage the car.
Speaker 4: What did I do? I bought her a Missdonald didn't know.
Speaker 3: We had the fun police.
Speaker 5: On the phone, right, I haven't buddies have damaged their
Speaker 5: car while they're getting town fish fullg.
Speaker 1: But the plan, I don't think the plan was to
Speaker 1: totally like toe your car away to some like car
Speaker 1: lot and make you pay to get it out. I've
Speaker 1: ever heard it. I think it was just like to
Speaker 1: hook it up as a joke, right, Gina.
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 6: I mean it would have worked had my friend not
Speaker 6: had to.
Speaker 4: Leave for a real call. I mean, I'm glad the
Speaker 4: plant didn't work. That's not it. That's not even a prank.
Speaker 4: I mean, my pranks are good.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I thought you were going to be so
Speaker 2: excited you just found out this woman that you like.
Speaker 3: Was planning on seeing you again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, this doesn't work in a relationship. There's only
Speaker 4: room for like one funny person, not.
Speaker 1: Too And it's the same thing with the morning show.
Speaker 1: Only one of us can be funny. And yeah that's Jeff. No,
Speaker 1: I don't know who it is.
Speaker 6: Fish wasn't that funny? Honestly, this is going south a
Speaker 6: little bit.
Speaker 2: I don't believe you found a woman who was okay
Speaker 2: with being pranked into a McDonald's dinner and you're negative
Speaker 2: about blindfold blindfolded?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I forgot that it is.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, Chris, she's able to brush off your prank.
Speaker 1: Why can't you just brush off hers and laugh with her?
Speaker 4: Her prank is borderline dangerous, and you know she's gonna
Speaker 4: try to prank me again somehow, and who knows, might
Speaker 4: set the house on fire. I don't know like this.
Speaker 6: I have about four or five ideas.
Speaker 1: There is a prank cover.
Speaker 3: I think they're coming, whether they go out again or not.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean there's unfinished business between you guys,
Speaker 1: whether it's romance or pranking each other. So I'm going
Speaker 1: to offer to send you guys out again on another
Speaker 1: date that we would pay for Plus we'll toss in
Speaker 1: a couple of Brooke and Jeffrey whoope cushions from I'm.
Speaker 4: Probably gonna stop you right there and just say that
Speaker 4: I'm not interested.
Speaker 6: And you're probably yeah, are you?
Speaker 3: It was one bad taking the mud.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I apologize to Gina here, or
Speaker 1: if I apologize to Chris, or maybe I should just
Speaker 1: apologize to the listeners. Listeners, I'm sorry that you had
Speaker 1: to sit through all of that.
Speaker 3: It was a it was just a joke.
Speaker 2: We got.
Speaker 3: Second date phone tap, so freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1: Why doesn't anybody just blurt out I love you anymore
Speaker 1: on the first date. Why is it that everybody is
Speaker 1: like I saw on Instagram video and now I'm gonna
Speaker 1: trick the person and prank them, and then they're gonna
Speaker 1: prank me back, and now everything's confusing and unclear. But
Speaker 1: that's just how dating is because it's the Internet trend
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: I think even before the Internet, nobody's blurting out I
Speaker 2: love you on the first date. Jeff I was weird
Speaker 2: in like eighteen fifty.
Speaker 1: It's weird than good old days. I am begging anybody
Speaker 1: listen if you recently went on a first date and
Speaker 1: you confessed your undying love for them in the first
Speaker 1: ten minutes, and you're wondering why they're not calling you back?
Speaker 1: Shoot us an email. I would love to do an easy, simple,
Speaker 1: straightforward call like that.
Speaker 3: Why you're just telling me, well, because they don't love
Speaker 3: you back? Like what do you want?
Speaker 1: They were too perfect?
Speaker 4: Yes calls.
Speaker 2: I don't know what world you and Jose are living
Speaker 2: in right now, but I don't think it exists.
Speaker 1: I'm having a good time in it. Yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: we'll just stick with the total confusion and game playing
Speaker 1: and pranking, all right.
Speaker 3: Makes for great radio, jeff isn't that what we're here for?
Speaker 4: That? It's sure?
Speaker 5: The text war is lit up.
Speaker 1: My head hurts right now, but I love it. Creat
Speaker 1: You can always email the show. We'll call that person
Speaker 1: wasn't calling you back?
Speaker 3: Freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
